‘The grass is always greener where you water it.’ CS
Our top layer of skin, which is an ingenious evolutionary system of constantly replicating fresh new skin cells to replace dead and shedding skin cells, is where the appearance of healthy skin lies.
During the winter, colder temperatures and indoor heating suck the water out of our top layer of skin, making the appearance of our skin less healthy.
The trick is to keep water from evaporating out of the top layer of skin.
Here are 3 solutions to do just that.
Solution #1: Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid are cells that absorb up to 1,000 times their weight and size in water. They exist mostly in the joints of our body to keep joints lubricated and moist.
A topical layer of hyaluronic acid applied to our skin before moisturizer will keep the water already in our skin and retain water from your moisturizer. This is a brilliant concept for healthy looking skin.
Enriched w/ Sodium Hyaluronate, Collagen and Retinoids, this emollient serum hydrates the skin leaving it soft and supple, while Anti-oxidants and soy proteins help protect against environmental damage. Size: .5 fl. oz. (15 g)
Cruelty free | Paraben free | Sulfate free | Gluten free Recommended for: All skin types. Made in USA
Solution #2: Exfoliation
Winter kills off surface skin cells faster. A surface of dead skin cells leaves the skin appearing ashy.
To avoid this, gently exfoliate weekly to remove the surface dead skin cells and reveal the fresh and healthy looking ones underneath. Exfoliation, merely by the fact that it speeds up the shedding of dead skin cells, encourages skin to produce more healthy fresh skin cells which increase the appearance of healthy skin.
Gives skin a professional, spa-like exfoliating facial. Contains microdermabrasion scrub that safely and efficiently removes dead skin cells leaving a silky smooth texture that is ready to welcome rejuvenating new skin cells. Size: 3.0 fl. oz. (85 ml) Cruelty free | Paraben free | Sulfate free | Gluten free Recommended for: All skin types. Made in USA
Solution #3: Mist ++
A simple spritz of water will refresh the appearance of surface dry skin. Unfortunately as it evaporates it takes moisture in your skin with it, making skin even drier than before.
A mist++ packed with humectants (moisture seeking natural extracts) not only refreshes skin, it attracts and holds onto moisture. This keeps surface skin more hydrated, can be used anytime, even over makeup, and promotes an essential oil sense of wellbeing.
A refreshing mist with natural extracts that soothe and soften the skin. Instantly rehydrates and refreshes all skin types and aids in restoring tone and elasticity as well as setting makeup. Use throughout the day as needed. Size: 4 fl. oz. (118 ml)
Cruelty free | Paraben free | Sulfate free | Gluten free Recommended for: All skin types Made in USA

The long forgotten part of our facial anatomy re-emerges. With lips once again naked and exposed, and your old lip color having seen better days/years, here is a tried and true method for getting the right lip color.
Let the color pick you.
Here’s how:
Before putting any color on your lips, put colors you are attracted to on your fingertips.
Next hold your finger over your lips while looking into a mirror.
You will have an instant visceral response to whether this color likes you or not.
Other tests:
Hold your colored fingertips over the clothing you are wearing.
See if they like each other.
Some colors make other colors look more vibrant, and some just seem off.
Trust your visceral judgment and go with what makes you smile.
Now we get to see each other smile again.

January is the ski lift of months. You sit down and calmly wait while the lift takes you to the top of the mountain. I love January. The calm. The cool.
You get off the lift February 1st and then the year starts rushing by.
As we all near the top of the mountain and start skiing down 2022, I ask us to remember the ski lift of January that got us there.
As many of us are re-entering the world of actual human interaction, Makeup Gourmet asks to ease that transition with a site-wide offer to help you put your best in-person foot forward.

Back in 2008 when choosing a manufacturer for Makeup Gourmet Cosmetics, I was adamant that they be made in the USA.
This is a decision that made itself.
Then, and now, the reasons are clear:
My customer mostly lives in the USA.
By providing local work to produce Makeup Gourmet Cosmetics, our domestic economy gets stronger.
The stronger our economy, the stronger the buying power of my customers.
My products can be made less expensively in foreign markets. This, however, only increases my profit margin, not the economical strength of my customer base.
It is vital, now more than ever, for businesses to consider everyone’s bottom line, not just their own.
As we inch towards controlling Covid, and recovering our lost economic output, I ask that every business join me in this Made in USA policy.
We will all recoverer more quickly and soundly when we make a concerted effort to support each other when making purchasing decisions.

I cannot remember a single resolution I have made in the past.
This New Years is different.
I want to make a great first impression with 2021.
For whatever reason, that manifested into me washing and putting on clean sheets, and doing all my laundry so as to not bring any dirty laundry into the New Year.
We need 2021 to outshine, heal, and resolve 2020.
As with birthdays, every New Year is a gift.
This one, for the first time, has made me a little superstitious.
So I am primping to look my very best so 2021 knows I take it seriously.
Can you blame me?
With unlimited hope and heart sent wishes I wish everyone the bestest New Years ever!
